Fans are very sad about the latest health scare that Al Roker had. The popular weatherman hasn’t been on TV because he’s been very sick. Blood clots in his thigh spread to his lungs and forced him to go to the hospital right away.
A heartfelt tweet from Roker showed his appreciation for the care he got and the many kind messages from fans. Roker has had other health problems in the past. He has talked about his fight with prostate cancer and surgeries for hip and knee problems. Even with these setbacks, Roker has kept busy and driven.
His “Today” show coworkers, such as Hoda Kotb, Dylan Dreyer, Craig Melvin, and Savannah Guthrie, publicly supported him and praised his strength and good mood. Roker came back to “Today” with a bang two months after his stay in the hospital.
In an emotional interview with his wife Deborah Roberts, Roker called what he was going through “frightening” and “the scariest journey.” The couple told everyone how bad his situation was, which had even doctors worried about his outlook. Fans and coworkers alike are inspired by Roker’s bravery and drive in the face of hardship.
